The J-Shaped Bone Graft for Anatomic Glenoid Reconstruction: A 10-Year Clinical Follow-up and Computed Tomography-Osteoabsorptiometry Study

Conclusion: The surgical treatment of recurrent shoulder instability with a significant bony Bankart lesion using the J-shaped bone graft procedure provided excellent long-term results. This study lends evidence to support the capability of the J-shaped bone graft procedure to restore the normal glenoid shape due to physiological remodeling processes.
